Title: Just curious: who are you?
Post by: nickjtc on February 19, 2015, 07:05:59 PM

It must be the end-of-winter-doldrums kicking in.

I'm looking forward to getting back on the road and have been spending a lot of time perusing this forum when not working. I'm curious as to where you lot got your user names from.... after all, if I met you in the flesh I would be embarrassed to call you 'Sin' or 'Threepot' or 'Mustang'!

So, I'll start the ball rolling:

nickjtc = I used to have a training and consulting business, Nick Jordan Training and Consulting.

Even more boring, Phil, from London..... Used to be MIMbox, but lost the name when site upgraded. Medical Imaging Manager (capture) Box ( ie a pc that grabs Xray/CT/US images for the digital age)..

Not the other one??

But seriously though.... why don't we use our names on forums, and instead come up with (sometimes interesting) noms du plume?

Some might prefer "Nom's de Guerre" :bad

:iagree On a more worrying note, I'm being demolished!

The nursing home in Glasgow where I was born was torn down a few years ago.

The Primary school I went to has long gone

The secondary school I went to has been flattened to make way for housing

I'm hoping they don't catch up and the Tigers got the legs to keep in front :augie
